Work Sheet

Asalamalaykom everyone:)

Due to an increase in business over the past little while,
it was becoming difficult to keep the prices consistent in my head for the
various sewing jobs that sisters wanted me to do for them. As such, I have
created a Work Sheet that I attach to each job which allows for me and each of
my clients to fill out what they want and add any details for measurements,
alterations, etc. so that the sewing is done properly.

Therefore, If you live in the Victoria, BC area and would
like some sewing work done, please feel free to email me at: purplebutterfly26@gmail.com for
my Work Sheet and I can email it out to you. I am avoiding putting it online as
my personal information is listed and because I am only taking on clients who
live on Vancouver Island or in the Vancouver, BC areas (due to the necessity of
providing me with fabric and/or the clothing items that need alterations).

I offer very competitive prices – half of what local
Victoria dry cleaners and tailor shops are offering. For example, I charge $20
to hem abayas that are very wide at the bottom (up to 210 inches around) and
dry cleaners and tailor shops in Victoria are charging $40 and up. I am trying
to keep my prices very low as many of my clients are students and I hope to be
doing a good deed by charging less. Plus – I love to sew and I don’t mind
keeping my prices low:)

I hope to hear from anyone in the Vancouver
Island-Vancouver, BC area who needs my Work Sheet and some sewing done for them,
Inshallah:)

About Me

Asalamalaykom:) I am a Muslimah from Canada who loves to sew. After reverting to Islam over a year ago, I found that a wardrobe change was much needed to embrace a more modest way of dress. I love shopping at thrift stores and did that for awhile, but I was still lacking comfort in my clothing. I also was having a hard time with finding nice hijabs to wear as I don’t live in a huge city where there is more available in terms of Islamic dress. So, I began to take up sewing again and have been having sew much fun, ha, ha, ha:) I found that it was very hard to find patterns and stuff online and I didn't want to shop online for modest clothing because of the sizing, costs and shipping times. So, I started to build my wardrobe with all kinds of cool stuff and because I had such a hard time finding things, I thought I would try to share with other sisters:) Inshallah, I hope to post some patterns for sisters to be able to download and if I can’t figure out how to do that, you can always email me and I can send you the pattern you want:) I hope you find some or all of the things I post helpful!
